Reply to comment by Senior-Sharpie in Spurred by Gov. Murphy’s reform pledge, NJ lawmakers are working on changing liquor licensing laws that have remained largely unchanged since the years just following Prohibition: The current laws make obtaining a liquor license difficult and allow for a finite number of retail consumption licenses by rollotomasi07071

There are so many liquor stores in NJ it’s astounding. My tiny town has one and they are opening another a block away. Why do we need two liquor stores mere feet from each other? No surprise they voted no on dispensaries.

If you could buy beer at the convenience store/grocery store like a normal place, there probably wouldn’t be so many. There are delis near my house that are “liquor stores” just so they can sell a small selection of beer. It’s dumb
